What BICYCLE(S) do you own?

[Yoda]

the gears are f***ed on mine and have been since I bought it, damn things change themselves without warning! tried fixing it but to no avail.

I keep having trouble with my gears too.

The amount of time's I've had to tighten them up.

 

[the full harris]

i have one, but i dunno what it is called or who it is made by.
i went into the shop and asked to buy their cheapest brand new bike. It cost me £80, so i guess it is fairly shit, but i only want it to ride round uni and most people's get nicked at uni so it is probably good that it ain't worth nicking!
I think it has 18 gears, but i only use about 3 of them!

For 18 years until last Friday a Peugout PX-10 (see signature)

hopefully sort that out by the weekend

A red one

A Saxon Timberlake. Its an OK hybrid road/mountain bike, massive tubing so its pretty light for a steel bike/.

I probably got ripped by the shop, as I paid E219 for it last August and I've just found it online for £79.99. Then again, I've a feeling that 79.99 is before VAT and that sites shipping is ripping - about 50 quid to get it over here..

The bike shop convinced me it was made in the UK, and build quality wise I'd agree - the front brakes keep failing! I just don't like buying american brands if I can avoid it, and also "american brands" usually make their bikes in worse sweatshops than the european ones

Can't wait to pedal to Falmer.

Hrmm, apparentlty the Saxon that makes my bike is a "cheap nasty company from south wales" (quoting a bike history site) who use an older, more respected firms trademarks

I have a 1998 Marin East Peak which I keep adding new toys to and a Nigel Dean road bike, unfortunately they don't see as much daylight as they should!

 

[34064 Fighter Command]

Used to have a 1998 Marin Nail Trail but it got too uncomfortable. The front cable disc brake was a joke & the RST forks sucked !

Traded it in for a 2001 Specialized Enduro Sport, fully suspended & managed to get the shop to take off the Marzocchi Bomber forks & put on my Pace RC36 Evo 3's.

I haven't ridden it this year yet, been at too many football matches !

 

[London Calling]

a CANONDALE CAD 2 AND A BASIC RIDGEBACK...

 

[pasty]

Ah, found one. Don't know anything about bikes. Just bought this second hand (but in v.g.c) for £100 to do the London-Brighton. Price guide on the site says £199. Was I ripped off or did I do okay ?

 

[Shizuoka Dolphin]

A red, blue and white one with suspension on the front wheel. It's cool.

True dat - everytime I go over a bump the bloody thing changes up or down however they see fit...

for £100 its ok! i would spend less than £1000 on a bike! Theres such beautiful south downs wrapped around the area, go explore it!

Have owned a Dawes Horizon since 1991. Quality touring bike with old-fashioned drop handlebars. Has never let me down, and now the fine weather's arrived in Vienna, I'll be out on it a lot more.
